Raja Bahadur Singh of Bhoti and Wazir Labh is a 1791 paint by Unknown, a Patna School of Painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows two men sitting on raised platforms, talking. One holds a sword, the other rests his arm on a small table. They wear white robes and tall head coverings, with gold jewelry and red turbans. Behind them, a fence lines a grassy area, and a tree stands against a sky with fluffy clouds. The bright colors—reds, greens, and golds—stand out against the plain background. The writing at the top is in a script that looks like Hindi. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
The painting depicts Raja Bahadur Singh of Bhoti seated in conversation with his younger brother and Wazir Labh, rendered in opaque watercolour on paper in 1791. A plain green foreground frames the figures, who are positioned facing each other in a quiet exchange.
